Weekly Ramblings #2

Good evening readers,

Time for another of my new weekly posts :) , been kept rather busy with work the past week so haven't had much energy for a lot of hobbying. However a new distraction has landed..............

The first of my planned 500pt Necron force has arrived that being the Anrakyr the traveller model, this model caught my attention when I was in the warhammer world miniatures hall and I thought he would be the model i would use for my lord.

He's very WiP but you get the idea of the scheme I'm going for:

I'm still undecided on what basing style to go for, I'm currently thinking urban as it will contrast with the boney colour. I'm open to any suggestions for bases though :)

I ordered this guy direct from GW as I thought if there was a problem with the finecast its far easier to get it changed. He came withn 2 days of ordering which is funny really as I ordered some immortals off Wayland games 3 days before I ordered the guy and they havent even been dispatched yet........................

Well thats it for another week, as ever let me know what you think guys :)

Weekly Ramblings 1#

Evening readers time for what I hope will be a regular feature.


That being a weekly post something I have stolen off that despicable Mr Feral. So to start it off this week here are some WiP corsair terminators:

These guys are converted from the plastic dark vengeance ones, originally they were meant to be finished in time for my meet up with Rictus and Nife however work prevented that from happening :( With our next meet up happening in 6 months time it gives em time to really go to town on them a bit more.


They are similar in theme to my power armoured marines although these guys will be getting more chaosy details and effects given they are effectively drawn from Hurons inner circle. The instant mold I have has proven invaluable again letting me make the chaos star talisman on the one guy.

Next up is the very early bare bones stage of my terminator lord. Given the rather poor performance of the power armoured one in games I figured i needed soemthing with a little more hitting power. Step in terminator armour:

His pose is inspired by my original corsair model from a few years back:

Will be taking my time over this model given he will be my centre piece leader, you will see him take shape over the coming weeks.


Next up is my rough list for the possible 500pt Zone Mortallis Necron Force:

HQ

Overlord - War Scythe, Sempiternal weave

Troops

10 Immortals

10 Immortals - Tesla Carbines

Fast Attack

3 Canoptek Wraiths

Not sure how effective this would be but its nice and compact.



Anyway thats it for now, shall return with another ramble in a weeks time

Stirring from slumber

Good evening guys and girls,

I'm back again, 2 months since my last post............

I do have a valid excuse this time however, I've been working 6 day weeks for the past 7 weeks with another 2 and a half to go before I return to normal hours this has left me with very little free time. Add to this I now have a girlfriend and that time is further constricted.

This means I have failed to really do any hobby at all short of getting a few more corsairs converted up:

Because of this I failed to get my next batch of models done in time for my weekend meet up with Rictus and Nife(Which just so happened to have been this weekend just gone)

Speaking of which a good time was had even if I ended up leaving with the new Tau codex, pathfinders and commander. Then from Forge world I ended up with: 4 Tau Barracuda and 2 Tigersharks for Aeronautica Imperialis as well as the show only Krieg quartermaster. I blame Rictus for all of this......

So my Current plan is to get the corsairs to 1000pts and update my Tau army hopefully when I'm back to my normal work hours I can get back to being productive :-)

More Strain Conversion WiPs

Evening readers,

Its quick update time again, been plugging away at the sculpt work on 3 Strain over the past few evenings and have some WiP pics to show:

This guy is the one from my previous update, I'm calling him finished and will be painting him soon.

This one is the most heavily converted to date, I have to heavily chop up one of the models I then added a push molded head of the female vanguard trooper. After that its a case of a lot of sculpt work looking again to the femal troopers armour. I havent replicated it perfectly at the moment as 1. I doubt that is within my ability and 2. it would take forever haha.

Theres still some work left to do on it but shouldnt take much longer.

This guy is another conversion his arms have been repositioned with teh aid of some boiling water, I have then begun to add a few sculpted touches to him. with the knee pads and holster I have looked at the metal light armour vanguard models on the Studio Mcvey site, I will likely have this guy as being former security from the space station who has since been infected and begun to mutate.


I've also slowly been building up the first squad for the white scars but these are rather boring at the moment so theres no need for pictures, I have also bought 6 raven wing bikers off Rictus which shall form the core of the large bike squad I shall do for the small army, going to aim for 9 bikes and maybe a commander on a bike.

Thats it for now, I'm in the process of painting some more Strain so an update wont be far off :)
